South Dublin County Council

I wish to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) Act 2014. I have recently been informed by some neighbours that discussions are taking place between Mc Daras Community School & St Judes GAA Club both of Templeogue in relation to possible plans to apply for planning permission to construct an All Weather Pitch with Floodlights on the grounds of McDaras Community school. Given the proxity of this proposed location to many houses including those who face directly onto the field in question and the presence of an existing All Weather Pitch right adjacent to this location, neighbours have expressed alarm at the possibility. I have no idea if there is any truth in this story. Therefore to clarify matters, should discussions of any nature have taken place between SDCC and any of the above parties or their representatives on the construction of an All Weather Pitch with or without Floodlights on St Mc Dara's grounds, I wish to request under FOI 2014 a copy of such discussions and communications. I am aware that it is not uncommon for parties wishing to make planning applications to have discussions with SDCC seeking guidance prior to formally submitting planning applications.
